Korean Airlines, Co., Ltd. vs. Court of Appeals

the trial that she was suing in her personal capacity. In
testifying about her participation in the said corporation,
she was only stressing her status as a respected and well-
connected businesswoman to show the extent of the
prejudice caused to her interests by the unjustified acts of
the petitioner.
It is clear that the petitioner acted in bad faith in
violating the private respondent's rights under their
contract of carriage and is therefore liable for the injuries
she has sustained as a result. We agree with the Court of
Appeals, however, that the award should be reduced to
P50,000.00 for actual and compensatory damages,
P30,000.00 for moral damages, and P20,000.00 for
attorney's fees, the exemplary damages to be eliminated
altogether.
WHEREFORE, the appealed decision of the respondent
court is AFFIRMED in toto, with costs against the
petitioner.
SO ORDERED.
Decision affirmed.
